Pete what anti-virus software are you using?

Don't think so any more than usual

I've been getting several 'undelivered email' notifications by the hour to non-existent addresses from a non-existent email address based on one of my real email addresses (one that appears on some of my business letterheads)

Obviously some dickhead has tried to hijack it presumably to send out a virus or trojan - but nothing you can do about that, par for the course. If you want to, you can just create an address in Outlook Express such as pzxwhjj@microsoft.com and send out emails via these pathetic anonymous proxys that are around.

If people aren't protecting themselves against stuff sent out by jerks like that after all that's been doing the rounds lately, more fool them

lately i have been hit by a trojan which simply creates tonnes of pop ups in IE even when offline ....and yes i have norton antivirus 2003 pro with updates. i have cleared all itnernet caches and cookies and evrything like that and it has seemed to have stopped it although norton still says there is a file in a certain directory that is causing the problems when in reality i do a check on this file and its not there...... low and behold i have some adware on my system now Orbit explorer which i dont like in the slightest it redirects incorectly entered web adresses to their site and pops up about 3 ads.. very annoying...i try deleting this program but it uses explorer....so it wont delete.. any suggestions?

Daz, try running Spybot and Ad-aware, maybe they can fix the problem  ???
